Critics really don't have much to say about the Transformers live-action movie. In the eyes of many critics, this is a popcorn-style movie suitable for nostalgic people to watch, and there is nothing else.
Some people even wrote sarcastically in their column: "If Cameron's previous films can still see something thought-provoking and a little artistic, then now he has been completely reduced to shooting. It's a sad thing to be a director of a popcorn-type commercial film."
As for the male and female protagonists, they were all criticized as vases. Probably because LaBeouf is a newcomer for the first time in a movie, so their firepower is focused on Jessica. Some people even think that she has not even achieved the acting skills shown in "Legal Blonde", really not. Know whether these people are criticizing or criticizing for their own sake.
In all fairness, from the point of view of a commercial film, LaBeouf and Jessica's acting skills are not outstanding, but they are still in place. You must know that the film tyrant is in charge of the camera. It's just that Jessica is too beautiful, people are easily attracted by her frowns and smiles, and she can't take it out freely in this regard, plus LaBeouf, who is still a newcomer, so it is inevitable that she will be attracted by her. Set fire. The same is true for Cameron, who has in fact incorporated themes worth thinking about in this live-action Transformers film, as in his previous films, namely: in the face of terrifying and unprecedented pressures close to despair, people The kind of desperate power that burst out in the struggle. Some are like "Terminator 2" back then, but they are very different.
It's a pity, or because the theme is buried a little deeper and the special effects are too good, people's attention is attracted by the battle of the Transformers, and the result is basically ignored.
It doesn't matter, as long as the box office is high enough, comment, just look at it. Angela concluded in this way - "Transformers", which was released at the same time in more than 4,000 movies in the United States, exceeded 10 million at the box office on the day, and in the first week, it dominated the North American box office with 180 million, making many movies unable to lift their heads.
Even though there are a lot of great movies released during this period, they still can't shake the throne of "Transformers", even if the last movie of "The Lord of the Rings" is released.
"This is normal. Although "The Lord of the Rings" is coming to a finale, it is inevitable that there will be some aesthetic fatigue after two films have been released." Fatty Peter rarely said "My Lord of the Rings is the best". Side, but the tone is still sour.
There was a burst of low laughter all around, Angela smiled and shook her head and said, "Yeah, it's aesthetic fatigue."
After a dry cough, Peter changed the subject: "I heard that you invested 200 million in Cameron to shoot "Transformers", oh, you are really rich, and hope to have another "Titanic" miracle?"
"Frankly speaking, although "Titanic" will still make a lot of money, it will never have a miracle of 2 billion in the world. After all, people today have been baptized by many special effects movies, such as "The Lord of the Rings". " Angela held Peter in a flat face, "So it's enough to have a box office of about 800 million."
Peter suddenly smiled happily, and then thought of something and looked at Angela with an expectant look: "By the way, I have a new idea recently, although it sounds a bit outrageous, I believe you can see the value in it, are you interested? ?"
Angela blinked: "Why, you want to invite me to play the heroine?"
"What... what?!" Peter's face suddenly became ugly, as if someone had punched him in the face and his facial features were a little distorted. Someone nearby couldn't help but chuckle and muttered, "Poor Peter."
Peter glared at the man, took a deep breath, and then said dryly: "Of course not, Angie, a big star like you doesn't have a special relationship, so please don't move..."
"It doesn't matter, I think with our relationship, we can completely consider it." Angela said jokingly, seeing the other party's face becoming more and more ugly, and quickly waved: "Okay, I'm joking - let's be honest, Do you want to invest with me?"
"That's it," Peter's face finally got better, "I plan to remake the famous "King Kong" in the 1930s."
""King Kong"?" Angela raised her eyebrows, "Why don't you find a new line company, just rely on you to make the epic "Lord of the Rings" trilogy with 300 million US dollars, they should agree to your investment? ?"
"Bob has talked about it, although it's just an idea at the moment, but I guess the investment may be bigger than the "Lord of the Rings", so..." He shrugged and didn't say any more.
After pondering for a while, Angela nodded: "When you come up with a specific plan, I will let them consider it."
"That's great." Peter smiled instantly, and Angela, who had found something, smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
A remake of "King Kong"? Remember that the box office seems to be good, let McKinley and the others discuss it first. Angela gathered her mind and walked quickly to a person: "Hi, Liv."
"Angel?!" Liv, who was brooding in the corner, came back to her senses and opened her mouth to be the familiar name.
"What are you doing here alone in a daze?" Angela asked while smiling and staring into her eyes.
"No... nothing." Liv turned her head, as if she didn't want to make eye contact with her. Angela didn't speak any more, and the two suddenly fell silent. After a few seconds, the unbearable Liv spoke again: "Is there something wrong?"
"Seeing that you are here alone, I want to come over and chat with you," Angela said, brushing her hair from her ears with style, "It seems that we haven't seen each other for a while, and I miss you very much."
"What about the woman with you?" Liv avoided answering.
"You said Kayla, she's not interested in what Peter and I are talking about, go somewhere else." Angela said and looked around, "I was looking for her, and I saw you alone there. Here, so come and ask."
"You'd better go to her, nothing happens." Liv said naively, "I'm sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."
Saying that, she turned around and walked in a little flustered. After entering the passage, she breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could relax completely, a hand immediately took her arm, and then Angela's voice rang Get up: "I don't think anything will happen in this kind of place, but you don't look very comfortable, so let's walk around with you."
Liv struggled several times and tried to pull out her hand, but Angela held her tightly and didn't give her a chance, and finally sighed helplessly: "What do you want to do, Angie?"
"I don't want to do anything," Angela said with a smile. "Can't I walk around the aisle with you?"
"But... but..." Liv said weakly, being dragged forward involuntarily.
After turning a corner and arriving at a place where no one was there, Angela suddenly took Liv and pressed her against the wall, looking at her with a smile, her green eyes flashing with inexplicable light.
"Angie, what do you want to do?" Liv, who was startled, grabbed her arm nervously.
"Have you thought about me, Liv?" Angela's fingers slid across her face.
Liv's azure blue eyes looked at her for a long time, then nodded honestly: "Have you thought about it..."
Her mouth was gagged before she could finish speaking, but her movements were very gentle and she just held the other's lips and sucked lightly twice, so Liv was only a few symbolic pushes despite being surprised.
"You shouldn't... do this..." Liv breathed a few times, looking at her half annoyed and half complicated.
"I just want to reminisce about the past, that's all," Angela said, wrapping her neck around her, "I still remember when you promised me to be your girlfriend, cute and persistent."
"That's in the past, Angie," Liv said in a panic, "Besides... Besides, you're not..."
"Have you ever thought about me?" Angela suddenly asked again, but the meaning was obviously different from the sentence just now.
Liv stared at her blankly, unable to answer for a while.
Angela leaned over again and kissed her on the lips: "I'm glad you can attend the final premiere of The Lord of the Rings. I'll come to New York at Christmas, will you accompany me?"
Before Liv could answer, she smiled and shrugged again: "Okay, I'm going back, see you at Christmas."
Angela turned around and walked back, leaving only Liv who was still leaning against the wall, and the wandering eyes hidden in the shadows at the other end of the passage.
The release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" has drawn a successful conclusion to the series. Although the box office of 120 million in the first week is not as good as that of Pixar's "Transformers", it has earned a lot of reputation among film critics. This is not surprising, after all, Peter Fatty's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy has been well received from the beginning. Even if last year's "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" slightly declined, the overall reputation still maintained a considerable height, which can be regarded as a It is a model of word-of-mouth box office double harvest.
Interestingly, because of Legolas' image and the story of the headmistress in "Love Actually", Angela once again became the most wanted person for lesbians to date, and at the same time topped the list of major gay magazines.
"It's an honor." Angela muttered in private after knowing the news. Although the Christmas battle is in full swing, it has nothing to do with her - at least she thinks so, the screening of "Queen" will wait until Christmas. after.
After staying in London for a few days, Angela finally said goodbye to Kayla on her NJK and flew back to New York. Although Kayla has been in a trance from time to time since the premiere of "The Return of the King", it is a pity that Angela who was busy returning to New York did not Didn't notice this.
This year's Christmas was not bad. With each passing year, my grandfather's anger decreased year by year - well, his anger towards his father. Although I still have to say a few words, the situation of big eyes and small eyes is basically gone.
Grandma was as peaceful as always, cooking those Chinese-style rice lai that only she can enjoy for Angela, but she couldn't help but say a few words about why she didn't find a boyfriend - in fact, the uncles and aunts in the family didn't miss it. It made fun of her, knowing that Aunt Ruth's son Colin was dating the cheerleader at the school.
In this regard, Angela can only explain by focusing on work: "You know, grandma, I have even arranged things for next year, so I won't think about it for the time being. But don't worry, there will be one I like. people appeared."
"Yes, Mom, besides, Jedi and I will be watching her." The mother next to her also helped her out, but she asked Angela worriedly afterward, "You can't tell them forever, Chrissy."
"Don't worry, Mom, let's wait until next year, okay?" Angela always said.
The most lively are the two little guys, Willie and Ike. Eleven and twelve year old little devils always like to be active. Ike, who used to shyly followed behind his sister and now has turned over, will not say that after the age of 6. Wei Li, who was mostly quiet when she was quiet, was actually joking and going crazy, which was really surprising.
Although they didn't stick to their sister for as long as they used to grow older, it was a headache to get entangled.
"Because my sister is ours! No one wants to steal it!" Willie shouted loudly, she stood on the left and Ike stood on the right, holding Angela in both arms to prevent other children from approaching and pretending to be them grimacing.
Angela could only roll her eyes and continue reading, calling or typing on her notebook, as long as she was not prevented from doing things anyway. It's just that although the family life full of festive atmosphere has temporarily relieved her mood, it can't really relieve her, so some things are still done.
Moaning, Liv rolled over and got up, rubbing her eyes and looking around in confusion. Then she stretched a lot and got up and went into the bathroom. After a brief refreshment, she put on her pajamas and walked out. As soon as she opened the bedroom door, she was shocked. Angela, who was also wearing pajamas, stood at the door smiling. He waved to her: "Good morning, Liv."
"Angie... This is..." Liv opened her mouth slightly and looked at her incredulously.
"What? Forgot?" Angela continued to smile, "Oh, probably because you drank too much yesterday?"
"Well... Yes, but..." Liv, who recalled a little, wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say for a while, she just looked at Angela with a fixed gaze.
"You were a little drunk, so I asked the bodyguard to take Manny back, and I took you back." Angela explained, "But you still have to drink when you get back to the apartment, so I drank a few more drinks with you. In the end, you were drunk. It was so bad that I had to stay and wipe you and put you to bed - and frankly, you're really heavy."
Liv was stunned for a while, then made a careful gesture: "Then, we have..."
"No," Angela replied quickly, "although I drank whisky, and although we were intimate for a few seconds, we still didn't make that step in the end."
She tilted her head as she said, "Last night, I slept in the guest room."
Liv breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but at the same time there was a trace of inexplicable disappointment.
"Let's change, let's go out for breakfast," Angela continued. "We're running out of time, and we have to pick up Manny. Today we're going to Woodland Town to see where "Hide and Seek" was filmed ten years ago - when Okay."
"Well..." Liv hesitated and nodded, "Okay, I'll be right there."
"I'll wait for you." Angela said, leaning over and kissing her directly on the lips, then turned and left and walked to the guest room.
Liv froze for a few more seconds before closing the door, then sat down in front of the dresser with her face in her hands.
Well, Angie for sure... Angie! I'm telling the truth, then I can rest assured... oh goddamn, why is there such a thing? She has a girlfriend and a date now... Liv rubbed her cheeks, and then a word came out of her heart: fair play!
The lively Christmas is coming to an end soon, and the next is a lively New Year, but the most lively for film critics is the release of Miss Angel's new movie "The Queen". Although it was only screened in two theaters in Los Angeles and London, it still attracted a large number of film critics to attend.
"This is an excellent film, and it is the best interpretation of the word 'compromise'. Angela, as she promised, did not add any personal opinions and emotional colors, and was based on a large number of historical materials. tells the story of what happened during this special period.
She lifted the mysterious veil shrouded in the royal family, painted us a picture of the real life of the royal family, and told us that the Queen of England will be angry, sad and helpless just like ordinary people. It must be admitted that even if you don't like Elizabeth II because of Princess Diana, you can't deny her courage and persistence in belief.
Helen Miller's performance is amazing, she captures the Queen's inner world so completely, sometimes you even think it's Elizabeth II on screen. And Boris Bodley, who plays Blair, is also unbeatable in the opposite play, with a prime minister's demeanor and freedom of movement. Although slightly fragmented in the editing, and with fewer scenes from Mr. Prime Minister's life - but his transformation is explained very well - it's still an excellent film.
Angela once again showed people her amazing ability, such a political subject that is not easy for men to grasp, and several characters in the movie are still alive in this world, but she was shot perfectly. Still, it's not surprising that she could make a movie like The Pianist at the age of 19. "
This is a movie review on The Hollywood Reporter. Although there are praises and criticisms, it is generally more praised. The same is true of most American media. Even if there are critical voices, they do not talk about sales like those tabloids, but they mostly focus on the shooting techniques or the performances of the actors. The British royal family rarely talks about it. , because it doesn't matter to them or the Americans.
The difference between the media in the UK and the US is here, but the British media, who had been looking forward to "The Queen" from the beginning, became a little bit different after the film was released.
